Splunk's integrated interface now available in ANZ

Software company Splunk Inc. has announced Splunk Observability Cloud is now available in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region.

The Splunk Observability Cloud enables DevOps, IT operations and software development teams to access data about the performance and health of their applications, services and infrastructure with metrics, traces and logs. All data is collected in real time without sampling and at any scale.

By providing services on AWS in ANZ, enterprises now have options to retain data closer to home with low latency, which is an important requirement for observability. This also helps Australian organisations meet compliance requirements associated with data residency.

Sumal Karunanayake, Head of Partner Success, Amazon Web Services, Australia and New Zealand said: “With Splunk Observability Cloud on AWS, local enterprises who are increasingly focused on user experience, app modernisation and innovation can quickly gain visibility of their technology infrastructure and IT applications, and accelerate improvements that support digital transformation — all with the data staying local to Australia and New Zealand.”

The Splunk Observability Cloud brings together solutions for infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, real user monitoring, synthetic monitoring, log investigation and incident response. Backed by Splunk’s technology — NoSample full-fidelity data ingestion, real-time streaming analytics and scalability — Splunk Observability Cloud delivers capabilities for monitoring, troubleshooting and resolution of business-critical incidents.

At its annual user conference, .conf22, Splunk announced new features to its unified security and observability platform. These include Splunk Log Observer Connect, which allows customers to view data in a single interface, plus Splunk Incident Intelligence, now in preview, which helps DevOps teams investigate incidents and take action to ensure better system resilience by providing event correlation, incident response and on-call routing, collaboration and automation.

Splunk Observability Cloud is OpenTelemetry-native allowing customers to unify data ingestion without vendor lock-in and reduce resource consumption with the lightweight, open-source OpenTelemetry instrumentation.
